wild speculation: crushes are a symptom of "stuck" emotional energy, and are actually a form of anxiety, a socially sanctioned one that you are encouraged to enjoy instead of freak out about

Like I'm all for queering the anxiety/excitement binary when it's useful to do so, but there's often a pure discomfort with uncertainty aspect of anxiety that you really can't reframe away.
So yep, I would count the context of this specific tweet from QC as a “useful to do so” context. I used eternal language here (“x is y”) which is not technically always correct BUT we know that and your replies here being picky over precise definitions feels draining & unhelpful

I'm sorry this came across as unhelpful. I think your characterisation of my response is significantly worse TBH, and I don't think you get where I'm coming from, but this doesn't seem like a conversation it would be useful to continue via tweet.

Was attempting some meta-feedback in good faith, it seems to have gone badly, sorry, won’t do it again
